Beans man! Beans!

A sports-economy car.  Goes aught to 60 in 4 seconds and gets more than 50 miles to the gallon.  Who did it?  Not Ford, GM, Toyota, Aston Martin, Renault, Ferrari, Honda, Mazda, Voxel, hell any car company.

Five kids in West Philadelphia High School made a soybean bio-diesel fueled car that goes like stink.

Admittedly, I think cars are more fun when they roar like thunder, and I like the smell of gasoline exhaust. But according to my (shallow, limited) research, diesel engines were invented to run on vegetable fuels. And diesel exhaust is a horrible pox.

Then again, if someone were to crown me King of America, I'd probably tear out all the highways and build railroads as my first act in power.

I would heavily encourage (and subsidize) mass transit myself.

I wouldn't. I'd encourage moving businesses closer to residences again. If you're a business that does everything by phone, email, internet, fax, and snail mail, there's no need for you to be dead center in a city. Move to a suburb area, so that your employees can walk to the office.
